Antique Joseon Celadon - Bottle Vase And Matching Covered Box

Beautiful antique Asian set comprising an elegant bottle vase accompanied by its matching covered box in crackled celadon.

The vase features a superb water-green glaze with soft, deep shades, enlivened by a delicate network of natural craquelures varying according to the thickness of the glaze. This variation lends great relief and refinement to the piece.

The stylized floral decoration, sober and poetic, evokes the aesthetics of ancient Korean celadons in the Joseon tradition.

The matching small covered box features the same crackled enamel work and is adorned with stylized bird motifs evoking traditional Asian cranes, symbols of peace and longevity.

The set exudes a beautiful decorative presence and blends perfectly into a contemporary, Japanese or classical interior.

Calligraphic seals under the bases.

Please note: small, discreet chip on the neck of the vase visible in the photographs, with no impact on the overall aesthetic quality.
